Knock Knock

Knock knock...

Who's there?

A TREE!

Well, it wasn't exactly a "knock knock" and it certainly is no joke. We awoke this morning at about 5:15 to a huge and thunderous sound. It shook Kim and I straight up in bed. Ok, it actually shook Kim up and out of bed into his shoes holding a maglite. I of course was huddled over Sarah hollering for Kim to get back into the bedroom.

Intermisson rant: Why do men have to check out something "right now" in the middle of the crisis when things can still be dangerous?!?! I don't know, but I called my mom hoping she would have the answer. And she did. She said it was because he loves me and Sarah and his family and he wants to protect us. DOH! Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus.

Anyhoo, Kim and I paced, said a few bad words (after we shut the door and let Sarah continue to sleep like a princess) and then off he went to search out the extent of the damage. I continued to talk to my mom.

Intermission rant: My mom is amazing. I call her at any hour (any ungodly hour) and she is ALWAYS there for me. ALWAYS listening to me, ALWAYS assuring me. God I love this woman. Thank you mom and Kelly - because I can't forget Kelly. He is always there too. I may talk to my mom, but I know that her and Kelly are a united front and both are there to protect and love me just like Kim. THANK YOU! IMMENSELY!

Anyhoo, I guess I am blogging this early because I am literally stunned and beside myself and didn't know how to let it all out. SO, here I am. But now I need to go. Kim wants to go to work, but we can't yet because a tree smashed our car - in half.

Oh, here's what it looks like from the front door. More to come.

Happy Friday.
